Despite winter officially commencing in a fortnight, the state has continued to experience unseasonably hot and dry weather.

In the South East, the CFS issued an Advice warning over the weekend after an attempted burn-off at Moyhall, south of Naracoorte, got away and burned through 60 hectares of land and travelled three kilometres.

CFS Regional Five Commander, John Probert, says despite some welcome rain over the weekend it's a reminder that people can't relax just yet.

"It has been very dry and it just got up and got going.

"We've had some good rain over the weekend but our forested areas will take a while to pick up the cool moistures," he said.

Mr Probert praised the volunteers who battled the blaze for six hours.

"Our crews did an excellent job of getting onto it very quickly, getting around it, getting to the head of it and pulling it up.

"There was quite a lot of tussock which was still burning which took a while to clear up," he said.

The incident follows a burn-off ignited in the Adelaide Hills on Friday afternoon that burned through 621 hectares of land, a family home and two sheds.

The Cherryville fire has prompted questions over whether the fire danger season should be extended in South Australia.

Mr Probert says that while the prospect would need to be properly evaluated, an extension to the fire season is far more likely if people continue to let fires get away from them.

"We encourage people to do their burning-off and clean up around their properties.

"If there was an extension to the fire danger season people can still burn-off under the permit system but it's a very fine balance between people doing what they need to do to look after their paddocks and protection of the general community.

"People need to be exceedingly careful when they are burning-off because they are still liable if it gets into their neighbours place.

"It's about total community responsibility in their burning off," he said.
